2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF TRANCHE 1 SEPTEMBER PLACEMENT SHARES – LISTING RULE 7.1 AND 7.1A
2.1 General
As set out in Section 1.1 above, these Resolutions seek Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of an aggregate of 60,113,847 Shares to the September Placement Participants at an issue price of $0.013 per Share to raise $781,480.
51,572,922 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 1) and 8,540,925 Shares were issued on 25 September 2025 pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being, the subject of Resolution 2).
2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an Eligible Entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 13 November 2025.
The issue does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
2.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue.
2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If these Resolutions are passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
If these Resolutions are not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
2.5 Technical information required by Listing Rules 7.4 and 7.5
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |

7.2 Director Recommendation
-
(a) Mr Robert Parton is a non-executive Director of the Company and therefore Mr Parton believes that the issue of Performance Options to Mr Liu and Mr Piccini is in line with Recommendation 8.2 of the ASX CGPR;
-
(b) Mr Parton acknowledges that the issue of Performance Options under this Resolution to the Directors of the Company, Mr Liu and Mr Piccini, is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of the ASX CGPR. However, Mr Parton considers that the issue is reasonable in the circumstances for the reasons set out in Section 7.6;
-
(c) Mr Parton recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of these Resolutions for the reasons set out in Section 7.6. In forming their recommendation, Mr Parton considered the experience of the proposed recipients, the current market price of Shares, the current market standards and practices when determining the number of Performance Options to be issued to each of the Related Parties, as well as the exercise price, vesting condition and expiry date of those Performance Options; and
14
3113-10/3853044_12
- (d) each Director (other than Mr Parton) has a material personal interest in the outcome of these Resolutions on the basis that the Directors (other than Mr Parton) (or their nominee(s)) are to be issued Performance Options on the same terms and conditions should these Resolutions be passed. For this reason, the Directors (other than Mr Parton) do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on these Resolutions.
7.3
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The issue constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the proposed recipients is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
As Performance Options are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors other than Mr Parton, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
7.4
Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
7.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If these Resolutions are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If these Resolutions are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue. As a consequence, the Company will be required to consider other methods for remunerating and incentivising the Related Parties.

| Number of Performance Options and class to be issued |
The maximum number of Performance Options to be issued is 56,000,000 which will be allocated and are set out in the table included in Section 7.1 above. |

| Summary of material terms of agreement to issue |
The Performance Options are not being issued under any agreement. |
| Consideration of type of Security to be issued |
The Company has agreed to issue the Performance Options for the following reasons: (a) the issue of the Performance Options has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders; (b) the deferred taxation benefit which is available to the proposed recipients in respect of an issue of Performance Options is also beneficial to the Company as it means the proposed recipients are not required to immediately sell the Performance Options to fund a tax liability (as would be the case in an issue of Shares where the tax liability arises upon issue of the Shares) and will instead, continue to hold an interest in the Company; (c) the issue is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non- cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend agreaterproportion of its cash reserves on |

| its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Lincoln Liu and Mauro Piccini; and (d) the issue to Lincoln Liu and Mauro Piccini will align the interests of the recipient with those of Shareholders; (e) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Performance Options on the terms proposed. |
|
| Consideration of quantum of Performance Options to be issued |
The number of Performance Options to be issued has been determined based upon a consideration of: (a) current market standards and/or practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and stage of development to the Company; (b) the remuneration of the proposed recipients; and (c) incentives to attract and ensure continuity of service/retain the service of the proposed recipients who have appropriate knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the Company’s cash reserves. The Company does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Performance Options upon the terms proposed. |

This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 921,096,435 (being the total number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 977,096,435 (assuming that no Shares are issued and no other convertible securities vest or are exercised) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 6.08%, comprising of 5.43% by Lincoln Liu and 0.65% by Mauro Piccini. |

| Market price | The market price for Shares during the term of the Options would normally determine whether or not the Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company. As at the date of this Notice the Shares are trading on ASX at a price greater than the exercise price of the Options. The Board resolved to issue the Options, subject to Shareholder approval, on the terms and conditions set out in this Notice at a time when the Shares were trading on ASX at a $0.024, being a price lower than the exercise price of the Options, but Shareholder approval has not been able to be obtained until this Meeting. |

8.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.
The proposed issue does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2. While the issue does not exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without breaching that rule, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
8.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
19
3113-10/3853044_12
If this Resolution is not passed, the issue can still proceed but it will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for 12 months following the issue.
